My research focuses primary on the fields of hermeneutics and semantics and semiotics, with special interest on textual criticism in the emergency of Old and New Testaments and Intertestamental documents, and their influence upon canonicity and inspiration.
Other areas of research include kingship in the Middle East; history, ideology, and law in the Hebrew Bible; methods of historical reconstruction as well as sociological method in the study of Ancient Israel; theological approaches, encounter with the sacred text.

It was a pleasant surprise to find that each had adhered to the same basic philosophy of teaching Hebrew grammar. There were some areas that had been developed differently, but the general design was harmonious. A Grammar for Biblical Hebrew represents a combining of those two grammars. It is our hope and prayer that the use of this grammar will prove to be a joyful exercise resulting in an understanding of the Hebrew Old Testament.
Special thanks is offered to Dr. Michael Grisanti who has read and commented on this grammar as it has been (and is being) developed and to William Vaughan who prepared the glossaries. Thanks are also due to all those students who have patiently endured (and who are enduring) the process of developing and testing this volume in the classroom. Doubtless, our students have experienced the scriptural warning, “… beyond this, my son, be warned: the writing of many books is endless” (Ecclesiastes 12:12a, NASB). Be assured that the authors have experienced the fact that “excessive devotion to books is wearying to the body” (12:12b). As exhausting as the process might prove to be, however, we are not to be “weary of doing good” (2 Thessalonians 3:13).

Flow simulations were performed to determine pressure and heat losses, flow directions and velocities in that network. Computed well pressures agree within ±10% with measured values, except

Freud himself considered this a neglected part of his education which he regretted. But the research of people such as Rainey reveals that Freud actually attended Jewish religious schools which offered intense religious education that included Hebrew language, the Bible and the Talmud, and Freud himself was an honor student in these subjects. The implications of this for our understanding of Freud's theory of dreams are explored.

Among the strategies examined are: the evolutionary approach; the cultural relativists’ approach; the canon-within-a-canon approach; the holistic approach; the paradigmatic approach; and the reader-response approach.
